Full Circle by Mona Ingram

Full Circle follows the story of Bella, a woman who was thrown out of her home due to getting pregnant as a teen, but still manages to make a success of her life, and is "I" in my alphabet list.

The blurb says:
Single and pregnant, Bella is given a choice. Give up her child for adoption or leave town.
The choice was never in doubt. Bella moves across the country, settling in Santa Monica. Determined to make a life for herself and her child, she and her new friend Sophia sell children’s clothing at the Venice Beach market. When their creative designs are featured on television, their business takes off and they accept an offer from Rafael Vargas to expand their business. Bella fights her attraction to the handsome entrepreneur, but deep in her heart all she really wants is love.
I really liked this book, because despite being a cozy romance, the author has written in such a way that you feel the emotions of the characters - both good and bad.  From the heartbreak as a teenager, to suppressing her desire for her business partner, it is easy to relate to Bella and you want her to succeed as she returns to her home town. 

Yes, it is predictable in places, and doesn't go into as much depth as I'd like in others, but for a bit of light reading in only 150 pages, this was very enjoyable.
